I don’t understand the “quitting” part. Stay there and make a fuss. Participate in malicious compliance until they fire you and pay you a severance. If it’s that important to you, go out fighting… otherwise you just look like you’re avoiding a scandal. Once they give you your severance, parade it around like they’re telling you to shut up. These dumbasses can’t even use decades old tech to censor a document, you think they are going to bind you to an NDA!?

After being fired and then brought back to the agency in June, Weiser ultimately resigned.

They tried that, it seems.

Don’t comply in advance.
